100 Day Creativity Builds

By: IllusoryThrall

When I wrote my #100daycreativity challenge, I wrote it for me to play. So it only makes sense that I show off what I’ve done while playing along. The best way I’ve found to get better at something is doing it… And CAS is my worst area, so that’s why I included both CAS and my favorite thing – building – in the challenge. Eventually, I plan to get through all 100 builds and sims. Wish me luck…

    Day 10 Build & Sim

    I had so much fun with this sim and her home. I think she’s gorgeous. I tried very hard to copy the right features for her from photos. Also, the build is one of my top favorites of my builds – it’s simply beautiful. I had a really hard time with it until the Oasis kit came out.. and then it was easy. Clearly I was waiting for that kit, and didn’t even know it!

    100DayCreativity - Day 9 Sim

    Day 9 Build | Day Themes | Day 10

    9. Librarian/bookworm

    • Sim Creation: Make a sim who lives to read. 
    • For the Build: Build a house for your bibliophile – or a library room or venue. Think books. Lots of books.

    This sim was made to go with the Day 9 house (which was based on both the Day 9 prompt and the #bns144 (Build and Share 144 – A Winter Festival Miracle) (below). However, it took me a long time to get around to making the sim. Well, she’s there now!

    Librarian/bookworm

    • Sim Creation: Make a sim who lives to read. 
    • For the Build: Build a house for your bibliophile – or a library room or venue. Think books. Lots of books.

    Again, this build I did for two challenges. One, my 100daycreativity, and two, this is my submission for #bns144 (Build and Share 144 – A Winter Festival Miracle)

    100DayCreativity - Day 8 Build

    I LOVE this build. I originally started a different B & B for this build (look for my Lighthouse Cove B&B) – but it was clear I wasn’t going to be able to hit the required budget goal, so I literally started over. I was never sorry, because it turned out beautifully.

    Valentine’s Day/date night

    • For the Build: Build them a place to get married or take their honeymoon.

    100DayCreativity - Day 8 Sims

    This couple was created from several prompts, and are really cute. I’m including both prompts so you can see what they are.

    Valentine’s Day/date night

    • Sim Creation: Make a sim-couple. Make them match.. Or make them completely different, the choice is all yours. Remember, you don’t have to be completely traditional here.

    100DayCreativity - Day 7

    Not much to say about this guy other than that I had fun with him. He’s colorful, he’s loud, and he’s ready to party!

    Techno music/dance/rave/nightclub

    • Sim Creation: Make a sim that lives for the music. Be colorful!
    • For the Build: Build them a house or a Nightclub. Make sure to have a place for the dancing and music – use DJ booths and dance floors if you have Get Together.

    100DayCreativity - Day 6

    This “day” has been sitting in my “to publish” list since before today’s platform update was announced. I hadn’t gotten around to publishing it .. and then the new pack and patch were announced, and all I could think was how much better the house would be if I updated it with platforms. So I put this on the back burner, and worked on later builds. So poor Han-Gyeol Park has been uploaded and waiting for his day in the spotlight for quite a while. Story-wise, all he wants is to get into a K-Pop band, or make it big on his own, and to that end, he left home early to try to get to his goals.

    The Non-colors: white, black, brown, grey

    • Sim Creation: Make a monochrome sim in one of the above colors. If you’re feeling ambitious, make more than one of the colors.
    • For the Build: Build them a house/room(s) to match the color you picked.

    100DayCreativity - Day 5

    Meet Bert. From my description: “Known as “Strange Bert” to those around StrangerVille, he lives in the trailer park and avoids human contact if at all possible. No one knows what exactly he does in his mismatched, dingy trailer, but they avoid him all the same. His only company is his tubby, troublesome cat, Taco. It’s tough being different!” This guy is a character, and, as “easy” as his house was to make, there was something about it that bothered me. When I was going through pictures, I realized that I had forgotten Bert’s glasses on his athletic outfit.. which was bad. There’s no way he could have seen without them. So I loaded up my game to fix them.. and three hours later.. I still hadn’t gotten around to it. My hubby finally put his finger on what the house build was missing…. Bert’s pride and joy. The only thing he ever spent any money on (Other than his cowboy boots). I’ll let you scroll down to find out what that was.

    Weird Sim/Mismatched House

    • Sim Creation: Go wild. Make the weirdest sim you possibly can.
    • For the Build: Build him or her (or them) a house in which nothing matches. Purposely try to make a horrible build. It’s harder than you’d think.

    100DayCreativity - Day 4

    This was a fun theme. I had a little backstory in mind when I made my alien girl – which you can see in the screenshot of the gallery upload. Basically, I decided she had crash landed a spaceship here, and really only wanted to be able to fit in – but kept going about things the wrong way. She ends up seeing herself as more human than alien, which is why she avoids the alien “uniform” when out of disguise. Her disguise is far from flawless, too, because she’s trying so very hard to fit in, but just doesn’t know how.

    Alien

    • Sim Creation: Create an alien Sim and their disguise. If you don’t have Get to Work, make an alien-looking Sim.
    • For the Build: Make them an alien-themed home base somewhere in the Sim world other than on Sixam. Use debug cheats to get to the alien plants and decor.

    100DayCreativity - Day 3

    It took me quite a bit to decide on a cartoon that I actually watched and/or connected with as a kid, because to be honest, I wasn’t really allowed to watch cartoons. So what I did see wasn’t until college or was at a friend’s house, so I was never really able to get invested into any cartoon. I did finally settle on Scooby-Doo, and then I really sat down with some photos of the characters and made them – at least facially – as closely as I could. Clothes was a bit harder, but I did really make an effort to get it at least in the same fashion family as what they wore. They’re all teens, because that’s what they are in the show, and I tried to pick appropriate traits. Scooby was the hardest to make, mostly because I actually painted him to match his markings, and I had to find photos that showed all sides online.

    Cartoon

    • Sim(s) Creation: Take one of your favorite cartoons as inspiration and create a sim or sim-family to represent character(s) from the cartoon.
    • For the Build: Make a house or venue (or room) based on the world of your cartoon. Make it as unrealistic as you want.

I am a 47 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and five young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I am also in the EA Creator Network and an Ubisoft Partner, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
